Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor. Had Polyp removal surgery.
She is a great attentive doctor. Seems a bit young but honestly she seems extremely qualified and on her way to being a wise old obgyn. She did polyp removal surgery on me and I felt very safe and confident with her as my surgeon. It worked to heal my uterus and I'm now pregnant. She is a wonderful doctor.

5 min appt, no exam, feels like a factory,
My first gynecological appointment. I am 19 years old and I have been suffering from severe stomach pain. My GI doctor recommended a gyn visit and ruled out gastritis. Dr. Parks was abrupt and without any exam told me that it was gastritis. I waited over an hour and the appt lasted less than 5 minutes. When I made the appointment I told them it was to get an exam and also talk about my stomach pain and to schedule a future sonogram, so that I would not waste my time just talking to a Dr. also I told the receptionist that I was past due for my HPV vaccine. The doctor was so rude and abrupt that I was not given a chance to say anything and I am 19 and still need to be accompanied by my mother, but UCLA doctors never let her in the exam room. My father is a Cardiologist and he was so shocked to hear how badly I was treated. I am still very sick and have to wait several weeks to be seen by a different Dr.

Long Wait Times and Does not listen to the Patient
Terrible appointment with Carolyn Parks. It was a tele-health appointment, and the doctor was almost 1 hour late. I do not have confidence in her medical advice and would not recommend anyone see her. She did not answer my questions, and instead left me with more questions after meeting with her. Avoid her at all costs.
